As an action learning coach, how would you handle the following situation:
The team is working extremely well. Exploring deeper and deeper avenues as to what the problem is.
After evaluating the moment I would intervene saying to the group that I noticed that they were producing very good questions to work on the real problem from the problem presenter and after that I would ask if someone else noticed the same.
My intervention would be done in this way:
“Dear all I am noticing that the group is working very well and producing very good questions going deep on the way to work on real problem. I would like to ask you someone else noticed the same?” On the sequence I would ask to the group: “What are the impact of doing good question?”
I would give my applause to the team for the outcome and good quality of the questions and invite the team members to share their feelings and recap the powerful questions.
Then I would ask the team to compare the team performance/efficiency at the beginning and now and analyze what are the keys to build a strong team and push the process forward.
First: Primum non nocere” – so during such good quality session, I would not disturb them. At the end of session I would ask the team: “How was it for you to work in a group and what influenced it?” – after their answers, I would ask: “If they could give 3 recommendations to groups working in the AL trend, what would it be?” Then I would appreciate the group’s effective work and point out what exactly, what positive aspects of teamwork I noticed.
I will keep an eye on the time allotted for this stage of the process and make the interventions: how we are acting as a group, on a scale of 1-10; What are doing well, What we can do better and question whether we have consensus on the problem. If yes, them we move on to the problem solving phase; If not, I would ask what would help us to have consensus. And who has the next question.
I would not disturb, but note my main observations and quotes to ask later. It it is before the first intervention, I would pinpoint it and appreciate first listening to what the group have noticed – only later me.
